So it's less than a week until the start of FSAE-A 2009 and there's been barely a peep in the Competitions forum, so I thought I'd kick things off.
How are teams going with their preparations? If previous history is anything to go by, Adelaide would have arrived in Melbourne by now ready for some extra statics prep before Friday, hopefully their car is well tested and ready to go.
And as always, post up some pics of your completed cars and any pics you take on the weekend, there's plenty of overseas fans that would love to see them (including me!).
Good luck to all teams competing!

) - whenever you have high steering angles, car speed is low, so there will be little downforce generated from the wing. I would think you could almost ignor the wings for low speed cornering, assuming the weight swinging around above the drivers head is not significant.
